Presidents and First Ladies Trivia

[Jim Page]

Hi, Laurie--

As a kid, I went barefoot from Spring to Fall and that did me no harm. My feet are about the only parts on me that're still worth a darn.

Being barefoot and shirtless meant Summer to us back in the days when we kids roamed free. I'll never forget one summer afternoon in Pascagoula, Mississippi, when my brother and I and a couple of others were playing in the woods. I stepped on a big indigo snake and felt it squirm under my foot.

You've never seen four kids--barefoot--run down a red dirt path so fast! Another time on the same path we were chased by a black racer snake, and we may have made even better time on that run. All this was in 1959 or so.
